http://www.technologyintegrationineducation.com . Technology Integration in Education is a site that does away with the hours of searching the net for the right resources for you. TIE is the Facebook or Linkedin of Education. It is the site to go to network with educators and professionals around the world in order to share best practices when it comes to teaching with technology. TIE is the site that allows members to form groups around ideas, resources and skills. It provides a place where best educational videos can be shared. It provides tutorials in the form or Podcasts or live webinars that give members the opportunity to share some of the multiple resources they could use in order to achieve different objectives. There is a constant streaming of news articles from most of the major educational technology magazines available in one location. In essence, everything an educator could need to integrate technology in their daily teaching can be found in this one location. Well know companies as well as start-up companies now have a single location where educators can go in order to see everything. This centralized location dramatically cuts down on the research and planning time and provides a way for companies to attract prospective clients to their company in one centralized location. Educators are able to blog and discuss their teaching as well as the products used in an open and friendly atmosphere. The opportunities are endless.Join us at http://www.technologyintegrationineducation.com

The most recent Webby Award winner for religious site is this teen oriented site from Australia. I looked around a little and found some great content and design. What do others think??

Besides making page templates for use in site creation, G Sites is great for making site templates. I just did one for a LA ePortfolio I will have all students in grades 5-8 create this year.

Probably not a new website, but one I just found. This is part of the Worship Facilities magazine that I have gotten in mail for years. Looks like a resourful site having some great ideas. It is also compatible with Feedly if you want to throw it into your church tech feed.
